Problems with licd.conf.atilibusb (Snapstream X10)

Please post the relevant configuration files that you have /etc/lirc/*conf so that we can diagnose this.

I was able to resolve the issue by removing all the other entries in:
"/usr/share/lirc/remotes/atiusb/lircd.conf.atiusb"

It works fine, now. I'm not sure which was causing the issue, though.

Oh, also the bug title was a mistake:
"Problems with **licd.conf.atiusb** (Snapstream X10)"

So something in that lircd.conf is doing it. By chance could you narrow down what block was causing the errors? We can just remove that one.

I can try, but I no longer have a copy of the shipping default lircd.conf.atiusb... Is there a way to just download that part of the src?

This is the latest one that ships with lirc 0.8.3 in Intrepid.

Neil:

I'd like to see this fixed in Intrepid while there is still time. Could you try to isolate the bad remote?

I'm sorry, I thought I had posted back.

The conf.atiusb in Intrepid uses entirely different codes for the Snapstream. I don't have anything to install Intrepid on, and have no idea how to pass a USB remote through VirtualBox. That version of the conf might have even solved the bug.

The best I could do is identify the defective remove in Hardy... But I don't have the old lircd.conf.atiusb.

Hi Neil:

Even though that conf uses entirely different codes, you should still be
able to use the conf on hardy.

Alternatively, the old hardy defective remote should have been stored in
/usr/share/lirc/remotes. Either way, if you identify something defective in
either config, we can take care of it.

Sorry about the delay on this... But I just installed Intrepid.

The bug persisted, so I removed every remote, one at a time, until only the Firefly was left.
Each time I removed one, I restarted lirc. The remote did not work in any way (via irw) until it was completely alone in the file.

Assuming it was the first item (ATI something or other) I removed that one, and put the everything else back. Fail.

For whatever reason the Snapstream must be at the top of the file.
If you put it below _anything_ it will fail.

It works fine if other items are below it... though, I couldn't say how they fair, as this is the only remote I own.

UNRELATED:
Lastly, I straightened out the code, because I thought it might be causing the issue (However unlikely, I thought I'd turnover every rock.)
It wasn't the issues, but I'm attaching it anyways, because it looks awful compared to the neatness of all the other remotes.

That's entirely bzr, but thanks for the thorough diagnosis! Will try to get this implemented in a cleanish way and hope nothing else breaks :)

Still a problem. In that file many remotes share the same keys and those one remote is overwriting the other or can not be overwritten. There needs to be a seperate file for those.

This is fixed in current 0.9.4c release - the "fix" being that the remote definitions no more are part of lirc. The new remote definitions lives at http://sf.net/p/lirc-remotes: please file there bugs if you consider them wrong.

To work on with this bug we need it confirmed on current version 0.9.4c. Please test if you are still interested in this bug.

Setting status triaged -> incomplete since the status against current code is unknonw
